Verse 1: I still hear your voice in the silence, Still see your tears when I close my eyes, But love can’t survive on illusion, And truth doesn’t care who survives. You searched for the spark in the darkness, I buried the match in the rain, You were trying to bring us to life, While I was learning to live with the pain. Chorus: You were begging for a future, I was drowning in the past, Trying to hold together, Something never built to last. We were both the victims of the trauma left by our dads, Two identical patterns, never meant to survive the crash. Trying to hold together, Something never built to last. Verse 2 My mother told me my demons would end me, If I follow the path where the sin comes to tempt me. I inherited the abuse my father left in me, So ruthless and cold, yet somehow he sees me. Must be why I’m his favorite, two souls betraying, I understand him, while his silence is saying. All while I kiss the floor of my mother’s feet, Trying to bury the wounds that refuse to leave. Chorus: You were begging for a future, I was drowning in the past, Trying to hold together, Something never built to last. We were both the victims of the trauma left by our dads, Two identical patterns, never meant to survive the crash. Trying to hold together, Something never built to last. Bridge I must’ve saw the wounds in you that you swore you already healed, I must’ve saw right through you in a room full of cheers. I must’ve saw the scars you carried, smiling through your tears, I must’ve silenced all the world just to become what heals. To give you what you never possessed, To give you something real— The kind of love that doesn’t run, The kind of love you never felt, The kind of love that makes you finally believe you’re loved for real. Chorus: You were begging for a future, I was drowning in the past, Trying to hold together, Something never built to last. We were both the victims of the trauma left by our dads, Two identical patterns, never meant to survive the crash. Trying to hold together, Something never built to last.
